    English...and Doglish, lol. I took German for 2 years in High School, but I don't remember much. My brother can speak fluent German, and sometimes I can pick up what he's saying, but that's about it.

    I speakka da English! English is my first language and I've studied Mandarin Chinese in school since the seventh grade. I took the year off though, since I didn't take the placements tests right away when I entered college. Next fall I will be in Chinese 301 though. I hope I still remember as I was (am?) nearly fluent. Eeek, now you got me worried. Wish me luck!!!!!

    English and I can curse you out in Spanish, that's about it.

    Romanian is my native, I can speak Russian almost as good - 99%, YOU can judge about my English - I studied it in the University - English and French Language and Literature, so I speak French too. I can understand pretty well German, too shy to speak with Germans though. I can speak Italian, not very well, but I wouldn't starve in Italy and even better - Spanish. Of course, having Ukraine so close and so many Ukrainians living here, it makes it impossible not to know anything in Ukrainian.
    So, it's 8!

    Well, I'm really good at English, at least I'd like to think so. Anyways, I guess I also speak Bark or Dog or Whatever you call it. I took French in high school but I really don't remember much if any. I am hoping to learn Spanish soon though because a lot of my friends around here are Hispanic and they speak it sometimes. I'm hoping they'll teach me, I'm also thinking about taking a Spanish class to learn. It's just something I've always wanted to do since high school (what perfect timing to make that decision, when I have to pay for it) and now that I'm around friends that use the language, I'd like to learn even more so!

    Danish is my native language, and I speak english well enough to get by. I understand swedish, norwegian and some german and spanish. I'd like to be fluent in spanish, I can read more than I can speak though.

    Dutch is my native language. I also speak fluently French and English. I speak German too, but NOT fluently, and my vocabulary is really "small"(but I can read, understand and write it perfectly).I learned some Spanish 18 years ago, but I forgot most of it!! Of course, I also speak 3 Dutch dialects (local Dutch) fluently: West-Flemish, Lochristi Flemish, and Antwerp Flemish.
    Enough?? (wow, Viorica, you have the record here!!)

    Well, Lut living in Europe - a place where there are so many nations, so many cultures and so many languages - makes you learn it. But this is why Europe is GREAT, right?

    I speak English and cat, and sometimes I can speak "construction". The guys at the job sites seem to have a language all their own!

    I also speak "computer geek". Scary!

    I so much admire people who can speak multiple languages fluently. How cool is that? I wish I could!
    Well, I speak English (dialect: Hoosier...I'm originally from Indiana, and my hoosier dialect slips out every now and then).
    I do speak (read, write) Spanish, although I'm getting a bit rusty since I'm not keeping up with it. I really need to keep up with it or I'll forget. I translated our e-commerce application into Spanish for our spanish-speaking customers!

    I am learning Hindi and some Telugu...but have a long way to go to even be remotely good at it!

    Of course I speak cattish fairly fluently

    very true!!! It is embarrassing knowing only English. I took French in school for 7 yerars and I could read it but I could not speak it. I am in AWE of anyone who can learn other languages fluently
    And Viorica.........8!!!!! WOW !!!!
